Carrier and lubricant deposition solvent applications
using 3M
Fluorinert
Electronic Liquids
When creating new coatings, lubricants and other formulations, it is crucial to have the appropriate solvency, surface
tension, dielectric strength, and boiling point, as well as non-ammability. These factors can signicantly impact your
product quality, as well as how the product performs for your customer. That’s why we developed 3M
Fluorinert
Electronic Liquids, oering a wide variety of solutions for you to choose from.
